Nothing Without You is a fun, short, sweet second chance romance. They were high school sweethearts. Now he’s a famous footballer and she runs the local bakery. He comes home to visit family and they bump into each other. Are they worth another chance?
I enjoyed this novella. I liked the characters. The story kept me interested. I look forward to reading more books from the Crossover Collection.
I voluntarily read an early copy.

This was my first read from Murphy. I’m a huge Kristen Proby fan and love the Big Sky series. This book fit completely into this universe. It was a lovely story. I loved the high school sweethearts getting a second chance. Murphy’s writing was very flowing. I wouldn’t mind picking up another book by Murphy.

I kindly received an arc for an honest review
Tucker and Maisie were Highschool sweethearts, but he broke up with her as soon as he got his college scholarship and to get ready for the NFL.
Years later he comes back home for family celebrations and meets Maisie in the store. And wants her back...
Sweet story, quick read, I enjoyed this book!

Maisey is Brooke’s little sister we met Brooke in Tempting Brooke’s book.
Maisey’s old flame comes back to town and they kindle a relationship. It’s a sweet story and fits with the Big Sky books.
I really don’t have anything profound to say.
I enjoyed the narration a lot Teddy and Savannah just work well together.

The premise sounded ok but the execution was awful. Starting with the POV of Maisey whose still hung up a decade later on her ex Tucker who dumped her to 'screw different women every night'. Charming. Already this book lost me at a chapter in. The next chapter was his POV and it was even worse. I couldn't stand either character, they came across as immature, not funny and I hated how she's saying how tough she is and having sex with him like days later. And of course when he sees her all he thinks about is sex. He was a douche and she needed more backbone. There was barely any angst and the stuff that was was pathetic. I also found the cheerleader sister annoying. This tried to go for funny and charming and failed IMO. I skimmed through most of it just to see if I was wrong but nope boring and trite. The only good thing I can say was the writing was completely terrible.

Love this second chance romance! I am new to this series but was able to jump right in. There is love, chemistry, a dash of angst and an amazing story! Loving the crossover collection!

Another installment in the Kristen Proby Crossover Collection. I'm really enjoying the concept and fascinating to see how the authors incorporate their ideas into an already established universe they didn't create.
I've read Monica Murphy before and enjoyed her books. Unfortunately, this novella fell a little flat for me. I didn't not like it but I also found Tucker incredibly annoying and dramatic. And he and everyone else know he's dramatic but it was a little over the top. I loved Maisey and how she stuck up for herself and what she needed and wanted. Tucker eventually comes around and makes me like him a little more but there's a scene in here that made me want to reach in the book and smack him. Of course any time an author can stir up that much emotion in me, they are definitely doing their job so there's that.
I still want to visit Cunningham Falls, especially in the summer time. I give this novella a solid 3 stars. And I definitely want to check out the other books in Murphy's Forever Yours series because a) she's a great author and b) hello sports romance!
**Many thanks to Social Butterfly PR for the advance copy of this book.

What could be better than a second chance romance set in one of my favorite series… nothing I can think of! As a long time reader of Kristen Proby’s novels, I was excited to get the chance to read her Big Sky cross-over series. I have never read anything by Monica Murphy and now cannot wait to dive into many more of her books. This story was short and sweet but packed a punch of heat.
This story focused on Maisey and Tucker. Fans of Proby will remember her as Brooke’s younger sister from Tempting Brooke. I loved getting to know Maisey more throughout this read and think that she was the perfect heroine.
Maisey is a talented baker and cake decorator with dreams of expanding her business in her small town. However, her focus on work is soon distracted by the return of her high school sweetheart, NFL star, Tucker. While their romance did not end smoothly, it is clear that they both have not forgotten their feelings for each other. However, will Maisey’s hurt feelings and pride stand in the way of a second chance with a man that wants nothing more than to prove that he is trustworthy?
You do not need to have read any Kristen Proby or Monica Muprhy books before reading this one. However, be prepared to be inspired to one-click each of the collective works. This is a don’t miss. Happy reading!

I'm a sucker for a swoon-worthy second chance romance and that's exactly what you get with this read! Tucker and Maisey's story was one about rekindling that first love and realizing you never stopped loving the one........ the one that you let go when you should have been holding on tighter. I if you want a sweet, sexy quick read grab this book in the Kristen Proby Crossover Collection.
